I'M Useless

Try looking in the mirror
you use me every day,
I had never once thought
my life would turn out this way.

I've been there for you
there were days you couldn't walk,
we didn't know what was going on
I've helped you put on your socks.

I was there when you needed me
what was it I got in return?
Nothing, but a damn hard time
feel as though, I've been burned.

You call me useless when you're angry
and say I do things half-assed,
try being in my shoes for a day
you're making me regret our future and past.

You don't take my feelings into consideration
you only care about yourself,
I remember times in the past
your hugs and kisses made me melt.

At times you leave me standing
in this relationship all alone,
sit back, think about how I feel
at one time, your heart I had owned.

In this so-called marriage of ours
I got the shi$$y end of the stick,
I'm useless? Did I hear that right?
You don't have to be such a d*ck!

I can't believe the life I've got!! It's pi$$ing me off to no end. Every day that passes, it seems like it's always the same. I get grumbled at, before his feet even touch the floor. Sure...I'm not perfect, but how much more can a person like me take? It's like my life is a damned soap opera. I get TOLD to do sh!t! instead of nicely being asked, like a normal human being. I have feelings too...but I guess they're not important.
